I feel ambushed. Let's try thinking this way.... what "Use Case" would you have considered worthy of the effort required to add this feature? I have read on these forums that we can and perhaps should use crc32 to check for corrupt files routinely. I will continue to use crc32 in my filenames becaus...

:?: Do you need CRC32 metadata for any particular reason if the file name itself already contains the same information? If you must have .xattr/<name>/CRC32 files then you could probably auto-generate them with a custom script fairly instantly. At some point in the past it was suggested to make sur...

Hi Red I have my .xattr data set to be saved externally as sidecar files. I am also using crc32 in my filename format. My format also copies files from Seed Drive to Plex Drive when renaming... (A to B Drives) When renaming using a preset in the GUI or a shell script (and copying) the files the CRC3...

Can we revisit this :?: FileBot just passes along whatever MediaInfo can read from the file content, so maybe DisplayAspectRatio (decimal) might work better than DisplayAspectRatio/String (fraction) for your needs, and you can always add the ∶1 at the end: { video[0].DisplayAspectRatio + '∶1' } On t...

For Plex/Multiple Editions tag... " [ " and " ] " will not be accepted yet they are built into your tags format. Text in square brackets are ignored. Plex gives this as the proper format: /Media /Movies Blade Runner (1982) {edition-Director's Cut}.mp4 Blade Runner (1982) {edition-Final Cut}.mp4 I ha...

I have a post download script that uses `crc32` for filenames. Since it's costly to run that while renaming files I was hoping FB would save that in xattr data alongside the metadata. Yet I don't see it in the .xattr directory: net.filebot.filename net.filebot.metadata I don't see it store inside th...

Good morning Just tried these and wondering if they are still compatible as stated on the following page: https://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10969 I am unable to choose the menu items that you show as working together. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/kka2kjjz3lr8klp/Screen%20Shot%202...

To remove the “[]” as well?
Is there a simpler form of the above?

:?: How can we not print "null" when metadata doesn't exist? I looked through the forums but could not locate this info - although it's there somewhere from what I remember. the relevant part of my format: {' '+audio.language} 13 Hours - The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016) {tmdb-300671} [ [null] ...

:idea: If you choose to process files again, then you may want to configure FileBot to store metadata into plain text files beforehand, because normal files don't silently get lost, and work better if you are using SMB shares: Configure FileBot to store xattr metadata in plain text files instead of...

Also I want to rename all of the existing files in my catalog ~6000. At one point Red you were going to explain how to do this without re-querying but using existing data instead? :arrow: Please watch How do I restore match information from locally stored xattr metadata? :arrow: Please read Re-orga...

I would rather the aspect ratios were all "Film" ratios and not intermixed with "TV" ratios but I guess this depends on the metadata in the file itself? 4:3 should be 1.33:1 5:3 should be 1.66:1 etc. I even see some ratios in metadata where instead of a ":1" there is a "0" 1.370 Here is a list of al...

:?: What does the MediaInfo Inspector say for the file at hand? That would allow me to fix the {ar} binding. # MediaInfoLib - v21.09 CompleteName : /Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1/Movies/Clockwatchers (1997)/Clockwatchers (1997) {imdb-tt0118866} [Video] Width : 1920 Width/String : 1 920 pixels Heig...

I explained above what I am seeing when using the GUI not the CLI. While testing it to show evidence of my "claim" ;) I see a different but possibly related issue. See video screenshot below In the GUI using just this preset format on a movie file with a display aspect ratio of 16:9... {info:video[0...

Also I want to rename all of the existing files in my catalog ~6000. At one point Red you were going to explain how to do this without re-querying but using existing data instead?

Hey Red TLDR I found a solution - bottom of this post I had been changing the result of Aspect Ratio in my formula from this: 2.40.1 to this: 2.40∶1 Since colons are not allowed in filenames on mac I had been using the ratio character which is allowed, but that stopped working in my format sometime ...

This works perfectly for me :D Thank you Red! If anyone is interested... My Preset for Series: /Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer_1/{plex.id.derive{' ['+allOf{tags}{vf}{vs}{crc32}.join(' ')}{']'}}{if (dc > 1) '.'+di} Script format is essentially the same: --def seriesFormat="/Volumes/PlexMedia/PlexServer...

Thank you I will use {plex.id} for Series :?: How can I add additional info as I had been doing with {plex.derive}? (see above format) I attempted to just replace {plex.derive} with {plex.id} but received and error and no fiddling with format syntax seemed to help me. I am looking for a format like ...

I was naming the series video files with {tvdb-id} but according to plex series naming standards that is incorrect. The series directory is supposed to have the TVDB ID after the series name like so: Star Trek {tvdb-77526} _Season 1 __s01e01.mov _Season 2 __s02e01.mov :?: How do we accomplish this w...

I changed nothing in the script or the qBT "call program" commands. Until this commit to the master branch everything was normal for years. With this patch, that contains changes in how the positional parameters are handled, the quoting of the parameters has gone goofy. This points to a qBittorrent ...

I tried to remove the double quotes using bash parameter expansion (search and replace) inside my shell script and now getting inconsistent quoting of the parameters - some quotes are removed and others remain :lol: using the following in my shell script ... --def "ut_kind"="multi" \ --def "ut_title...

I filed an issue over 18 months ago and the "fixed" it in qBittorrent master . I am running the master. Now all of my positional parameters, which are quoted as required in qBittorrent, are coming into FileBot double quoted and FileBot is angry about it. Removing the quotes around the parameters in ...

Thanks. I know it's low priority.

Small issue fixed by removing the parent folder but wanted to mention it... I think I have seen this in the past, but not recently. Today I installed FileBot from the package [*]FileBot_4.9.6_x64.pkg and it created a parent folder named FileBot. Because of this the filebot alias at /usr/local/bin/fi...
